Dunno about Nick Craig but it looks like a couple of EPS's might have gift wrapped his botty..

Makes me wonder what a Beard powered EPS could have done to him..

Err, the results say EPSs 34 and 78, First Aero 23 and Zero 32.

Nick 9th, beaten by 2xPhantom (1st and 3rd on their so mean PYS, 4 in top 15), 2 300, 1 each Contender, RS600, Blaze and Laser 

Hadn't realised the second one was back that far, but in any event the first one would have been an ordinary human I'd guess, as against some flown in sky jockey in an Aero, and in light wind imagine what could have happened with somebody really good with a beard in an EPS.

Graeme the guy in the EPS was a pretty good sailor from what I saw.  I cant ever remember being beaten by and EPS on the water before.  But that's probably because I have only sailed against a handful

What's your older Phantom PY  ?

Yes would be interesting to re-process,  fits in with our project on Age related handicaps 

Tin rigs sail off 1035 at Hunts. Thanks very much.

On that age of boat it will be one of the heavier GRP hulls as well wont it?

Brass Monkey was a very well run event indeed just a shame the wind decided not to play ball! I am looking forward to my next trip up there in October. 

Can't comment on the results as, given the weather, I decided getting away ASAP after racing was the order of the day. Great work by all especially the delivery of hot mince pies as I was packing up!

It was never going to be easy for the club ....

There is an argument that says good old-fashioned 'all-in' pursuit format would be a better one given the vargaries of wind and numbers involved.  At least the 'excitement' (and confusion plus collisions !) of very short beats and very large numbers on the line at any one time would be much reduced.

 A 'tour' of the whole water would help introduce more separation as well.   The Bloody Mary works very well (IF you exclude the local 'joys of launching and parking Wink) and allows a very large number of entries in a way that a 'regular' format cannot...  There are other very good pursuit examples as well and as a by-product they tend to be better for spectators.   You really can follow the racing and who is near the front .... and it builds to a watchable finish.

Lastly - Slower classes are not 'buried' in starts as some can be in 'mass' starts and then have to sail in churned wind for long periods.    I'd also argue that while there is no easy format for hard pressed RO's and results coordinators but pursuits are a tad 'easier' allround.

After all this is winter event muti-class handicap racing !  Perhaps KISS should be the order of the day.

You haven't shaved that beard have you?

I've had two excellent results this year so far thanks to mine, maybe it's time to take it on the road... Wink
